Notes and disclaimers: Okay so I don't own Gundam Wing but I own the Satostyee family (Keiko, Nataski, Nanaskae and Akirra), and Coldblade. I also own Starlight. All the other characters I could care less about.

Love and Jobs

Prologue

The little girl, ten years of age, was shoved into the closet of the master bedroom of her parents' home.

"Nataski, what's wrong! Why do I have to hide?" she asked her fifteen-year-old brother.

"Just stay in here, please. I don't want you hurt." He said in a hurried whisper. He kissed the girl's forehead and then slammed the door shut. He heard their mother calling him from the next room so he ran to them.

A few minutes later the little girl cracked open the door as she heard her parents and her brother enter the master bedroom. Behind them there was a person, a man actually, dressed in a ninja costume with his face covered. He held a gun directed at her father.

"Now, I wouldn't try any of your tricks on me, Nanaskae Assassin." The ninja garbed man said.

"Are you going to kill me?" Nanaskae demanded. He had an arm out in front of his wife, who held Nataski to her side.

The man's body language clearly stated that he feigned thought. "Well, you and your family."

"Why!" Nanaskae demanded.

"I don't need to tell you the reason." The man retorted waving his gun slightly. With that he quickly pulled the trigger and Nanaskae went down with a heavy thud.

The girl's mother screamed, sobbed and stumbled down to her husband's side while her brother stood there in shock. Their father was dead.

Then just as quickly as the first, the man shot their mother. She went down next to her husband and their assailant turned to Nataski. The fifteen-year-old prayed that their killer would never find his little sister and closed his eyes as he was shot.

With Nataski's last breath, he whispered, "At least you never got Shinsyria."

"Shinsyria! Who the hell is Shinsyria!"
